Research done by one of South Africa’s leading psychometric test developers, Dr. Terry Taylor, showed that cognitive ability measured on a test developed by him called Apil- B, has significant correlations with dimensions such as:
  • technical knowledge,
  • future thinking,
  • judgement,
  • decisiveness,
  • achievement drive,
  • capacity to learn new procedures and concepts,
  • capacity to see the big picture,
  • planning and organising,
  • initiative,
  • self - development and self - management,
  • work performance,
  • versatility and adaptability
The results of all of these studies make it patently obvious that including an assessment of cognitive capability is a non - negotiable component of any assessment process.
